Evan's apartments are in a great area! My boyfriend and I were spoiled with all of the dinning options around. Although the area is lively and very close to public transportation, it is not a walking area. There's a lot of car traffic and virtually no sidewalks getting to the main road.
Evan is a super awesome host!!!! His explicit instructions made it extremely easy to find his apartment, I was so appreciative! He also took the time out to write out information regarding tipping locals, eateries close-by, how to get around, etc. All and all this is a viable and worthy choice when staying in Thailand.
